OUR CONTINGENCIES.

The Herald has ever fearlessly repre-
sented facts as plainly as they could be
obtained from our county officials, or
any other source. 1t is not fed by any
official pap, and is under no obliga=
tions to give any taffy to county officers,
nor does it seek to draw wool over the
eyes of the "dear people,, in order to
blind them to the doings of officials at
the county seat.
We unhesitatingly proclaimed last
fall that the treasurer's report was not
correct, and simply presented it to our
readers for what it was worth. Our
paper has repeatedly called for an of1ic-
ial report from the commissioners and
other county officers, as required by
law, This has not been fully done since
the so-called "Ordway Gang" went out
Of Office.
Three years ago, certain parties made
a great cry about the county being 49,
600 in debt !! Two years thereafter
Jerauld county was returned in the
territorial auditors report as $4,000 in
debt with no funds on hand n! Last
year the commissioners made their
own laws, abolished the road and bridge
tax, and raised the general county tax
to per cent. Now, after the lapse Of

we were not intor med that any change va,

Of them. All agree that Mr.. Maddox i an
excellent appointment, yet many think that Il
Mr.. Neale had to be removed, he should have
been replaced by teacher. Mr.. Neale the re-
firing examiner has given very general salts
faction during his term Of office, and has
proven himself to he always courteous and
ever capable in the discharge Of his important
duties. The general public did not desire bis
removal, and the teachers preferred him to
any other, unless one Of their Number could
be appointed, but it is alleged the politicians
for obvious reasons, wheedled around the
